First off, as some of you know I had a build log on here previously but that was when I still had my blow through in my truck, ONLY reason I dont have it in any more is because I needed the bed for moving stuff back and forth to college so yeah, anyways, herrreee we go:)

Old, "normal" AQ2200, sold it and got one with a PLEXI back, pics of that soon:)

http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii58/hhawksqb1/photo19.jpg

Some AT deadening!
http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii58/hhawksqb1/photo24.jpg

Still need to do more on the back wall now that the blowthrough has been removed and the panels have been rewelded in, kinda noisy. Currently theres two layers on the outer door skin, two on the inner panels, one-2 layers on the floor and some on the roof. I need to get some CCF and do a layer of that in the truck too to silence everything, anyone have any suggestions on what company to use or buy from?

tinted the tails, they came out good.

My mids and highs amplifier, Its a JL Audio Jx 360.4, solid amp, but just sold this a few days ago so that I could pick up a Alpine PDX 4.150 at a crackhead price.
http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii58/hhawksqb1/photo70-1.jpg

Heres my current doors, only could find this pic and boy were they shiiitty this was literally my FIRST time working with fiberglass, you can see the airbubbles, etc. etc.. turned out pretty bad. Im going to redo them soon for my 2 sets of crescendos. But one postive thing was that these doors taught me ALOT and will help me significantly with building iPad dashes and doing more doors, and fabrication in general.. I've gotten alot better as you can see with the dash pics i posted above lol..

New AQ2200 with the plexi from BlactimusCrime, will definitely be lighting this up with some LED's to show it off

This should help with keeping the voltage up, DC XP 270 from dbeez, does 200 amps at idle, this one benches out at 280 amps max. , and about $1,500 worth of tools my dad gave me to help me work on my truck and audio stuff. I cant thank him enough, for how grateful I am for this.

Nice so far. You planning on going all-out show truck, or going to keep it as a daily driver?

04murdalanche

11-04-2012, 08:16 PM

3g iPad?

iPad 2 with wifi+3g, im not using a data plan though, only reason I got the 3g option is because it has a GPS chip in it. wifi model does not, so when it is docked in my truck, once I jailbreak it and get the $150 tomtom app for free, I'll be able to tether the internet from my iPhone 5 to it, thus giving me turn by turn navigation..

Nice so far. You planning on going all-out show truck, or going to keep it as a daily driver?

mix of both, i really want to clean the truck up, and make it atleast somewhat show worthy, the interior is about to change durastically once I get back to Dallas for Thanksgiving and Christmas break (I'm in college in Oklahoma) I will be redoing the doors, along with doing the sub box, and making an armrest built into it, the box/center console will house the gain control for my sub amp, voltage meter, maybe a SMD meter or two, and this

also picked this up to document the build, only DSLR that can record full 1080HD video, 36 frames p/s AND it records bass good:naughty:

Cool. It would probably not be until after the start of next year as I just dumped money into my front stage and am 'this' close to having enough cash for my new lift.
Pm me info though on prices so I don't clutter your thread, on both insert and full dash. Also is full dash needed. If I decide to tackle on my own you can be sure ill have questions for u! Was thinking of using kindle fire also as its a tad smaller and tons cheaper

Keep up the good work though. Can't wait to see your truck finished

Update time!

Thanks to cthedinger ; I don't have to buy anymore deadener! Lol. I entered the contest on here to win some deadening and I won a 25 sq ft pack of 60 mil deadener I will be using it to do the back wall, and roof of the truck. Everywhere else has already been double layered in AT 60 mil.

Also, chick back in Dallas is going to buy my iPad 2 when I get back for $400.... LMFAO, it's a iPad 2 16gb wifi+3G. Ever since the new ones came out the prices have plummeted on Craigslist for them, but anyways.. Means ill only have to pay $60 to get the iPad Mini 16gb wifi+4g. I will be getting a black one, to match what will be my black dash.

Alpine PDX 4.150 is in Oklahoma City, bout an hour and a half from me.. Should be delivered Tuesday. I'm leaving to go home this Friday, will be home till the 25th.. I've got about $1000 worth of rims and tail lights, headlights, grills, etc etc to black out. This will give me my funding for the rest of the build and pay off some insurance I owe for the truck to my mom that's been helping me while I'm in college.

Gonna be ordering some Alphadamp CCF to silence my truck, and while I'm home I want to atleast build my amp rack. Ill try and do a design for what I'm thinking on the computer tomorrow and post it on here but basically I'm putting my extra 110AH battery, AQ2200, and PDX 4.150 behind the driver seat, gonna show off the AQ's guts as well.. With some LEDs!

More updates as I get the amp, iPad. Cash, etc! Stay tuned:popcorn:

To make a very long story short, both my uncles have em. Always wanted one, bought one 100% by myself when I was 16, paid for the gas, insurance. Etc, mom made me sell it because she felt "I needed money to do other things" BS...

So I got a Acura TL, lady hit me, totaled it, same day my uncle won the lottery, told me he was gonna give me his avalanche since he was mad my mom made me sell mine. Didn't hear anything from him for two weeks, don't wanna bother him, figured he was busy so I don't say anything. I call him to see when he wants me to get it out of his way and he says his son just got outta jail and "he's in a worse situation then me" so he got the truck, and just like I predicted, almost to the day, 1 year later, a few weeks ago, the dumb **** crashed it. Should've been his third DUI so he could go away for a long time. Dumb fvck deserves it. But he got off cause of daddy. But I'm in the process of trying to get it now.

Should be interesting to say the least..

Just curious, why did you have teh boner for avalanches? I would prefer a silverado or sierra myself.

And you wouldn't believe some of the kids I went to school with what their parents bought them.. $60,000 lexus's/trucks/sports cars when they were 15 or 16. I was always pretty jealous until I got out of school and now I am the one who pays my own rent, bills, car, etc. and my parents dont give me **** and those kids are all still living with their parents leeching like some leechs

Well you can take the midgets out easily, instant blow through, can easily be sealed off and taken out, lovely. Rear windows unclips from the tracks, comes with a bed cover, also sick. And I had a z71, so sunroof, leather, 8 way power seats, all dat good sheit, plus, It was sick as fvck to have the cleanest car at my school, knowing I was paying for it. All those kids won't amount to ***** in their lives. They don't know how to do ***** for themselves..

I grinded out all summer log 10 hours a day in a 100 warehouse with a 30 min lunch break so I could pay for my avalanche.. And that was on top of going to workouts for football, had to. So I could get a football scholly cause my parents straight up told me they weren't paying for college sooo yeah..

And I love my silverado, but if I could have an avalanche I'd take one alllll day long, it's just a perfect system vehicle IMO, and its bad ***. That's me tho:p

And the phone, it's my girlfriends case, mine got messed up so I'm using this until I get my iPhone 5 here in a couple days for my birthday. Which is gonna be the source of Internet for my iPad, I can't wait! But yeah, I like my pink iPhone case(;

Great looking pods, def better the second time around! Would have loved to seen paint or vinyl though! Something you may want to try in the future that you may like is to cover your finished pods with painters tape, lay down some glass and make a "molded" shape insert. Paint that and then you can use it as an overlay on the pod to hide some of the seams of the carpet wrap. Kind of hard to explain, maybe you get the idea. Either way keep it up!

I just have to open the door to open the latch but other than that, not at all! had to have function with the design.

I wouldve loved to paint them too but with the truck being a daily its just not practical. I will be painting some pieces on the door though..

and I know what you mean with the "overlay" so to speak, ive seen it done multiple times and it looks pretty bad ***, if this were a show truck, I would've done just that.

Broooooooo, **** is looking nice.
thanks bro! alot more progress will be coming in two weeks, looking to have this build 100% done buy new years AT THE LATEST, probably sooner.

I gotta make a trip to OKC once its done so you and pro-rabbit can hear it. like i said I got boys that live in Yukon so its bound to happen lol

Oh, you are alive lol.
right? lol never thought we'd see him again!

as for the build, todays my birthday!:party:

so that means more $$ for the build! lol ordering some sheit today.

i may be getting a AQ3500 soon:eyebrow: video coming in a minute!

Trading it and my current aq for a SAZ-3500, I don't have room for both AQs and would rather run 1 amp anyways, always wanted a sundown amp, will post pics once I acquire it. Trying to figure out where I'm gonna put my batts, thinking maybe under the hood just not sure where..

Gonna start and do a decent amount of the box monday.. Going back to Dallas on Wednesday. Finish the box, start the amp rack, etc.. Will post updates as they happen!

Thanks for tuning in everyone, pro-rabbit ; how can I change the title of this? I can't edit the original post.. I need to update it being that I'm not running an ipad 2 or an AQ2200 anymore, LOL

No point in doing that because ill end up doing another blow through within the next year so it's kinda pointless, I have thought about it.. Just too risky, I'd always be thinking about it unless I had a bed cover with locks out the *** on both. If I knew I was going to stay inside the cab I'd totally do it

BIG shout out to 03F150MrSBF ; for all your vinyl/sticker needs hit him up, he can do just about ANYTHING you need..

http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii58/hhawksqb1/DSC_0196.jpg

now what you see here is just pink sundown vinyl stickers right? well what im going to do is use them as stencils, first im going to build my box, and then I will stain the sides and top where i want the "sundown audio" to go, i will then lay the vinyl down over the stained wood, then Im going to roll on black paint over all of the box, remove the vinyl and I will have a black box with "sundown audio" written in stained wood, its gonna look super bad ***.. if you dont understand, dont worry you'll see what I mean in a few days.:emb:

heres a preview of how it will be laid out on the side pieces, the smaller sticker you see above will be on the top baffle

http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii58/hhawksqb1/DSC_0197.jpg

oh yeah, notice that SHOK 1/0, thats gonna be my negative run to the back batt.

anyways, IM GOING BACK TO DALLAS TOMORROW!!!

stay tuned bishes!

There is bracing going in the port and the top is gonna be doubled up but I didn't put that in the design because it was discussed afterwards

Love the truck love the build but why did you drop a new motor in it already did your other have problems? These trucks will run 350k if maintained. I had a work truck that was beat to **** and had 347000 and never touched a Thing not even a starter or coil pack

LOL dont worry im not that much of a newb, it will be double baffled, i have a surprise for you guys, including Jesse, with it, itll be **** lets just say that. and as Jessie said, port will be braced, and the brace will be rounded over as well so that theres no noise.. there will also be a 1.75 inch dowel going from the baffle to the port wall where it is braced as well. and i will be fiberglassing the dowel, along with the 45s into the box.. so it'll be super solid.

I bought the truck with a blown motor, and it was a manual, it had 134k on it.. so i swapped in a new motor, along with a auto trans with 85 on them, so it should last me a while, i dont plan on selling this truck anytime soon. and 347,xxx? holy sheit thats impressive..

thanks for the comments everyone, some major updates are coming soon i can assure you of that,
audiobaun is coming over on friday night to help me do the "Big 6" with the two batts that i will have under the hood, box will be built, shits about to get real!

Hellz yeah, even though there's nothing to do I kinda can't wait to get back. Cause that will mean my install is 100%done and yours will be getting improved.

this little area in between the fuse box and radiator house will house another batt as well.. 3 total batts under teh hood

found this nice little spot to ground my batt to the frame, this goes straight down to the frame.

my main runs to the back will be 1/0 Knu and 1/0 Shok, all the power wire that is visible inside the cab will either be blue or black, then for speaker wire to the mids it is blue, speaker wire to the subs is black and white, should be interesting to say the least,

Turns out my belt was just worn out even though it was only 8 months old? So I got a new one, slapped it on there and viola! Back in business and my truck doesn't screech like yo momma.

Oh and BTW I'm charging at 15.3 bitchezzzzz((:

AND, I picked up this bit ch today, guy that backed out ended up getting his amp back so I'm set on a amp now!

They dont project much light out in front of the truck but from the LED's over to the side it lights up everything, they will compliment my HID's very well..

started painting some interior pieces I had sanded.. just wanted to see some progress really.. lol i still need to sand down some other panels.

Thanks man it means a lot and yes I got quite a few pics to upload.

Thanks bro! And the housings I have are technically for projectors, although they don't really look like it, I need to re aim the lights, I only bought HIDs to hold me over till I do a retrofit, I wanna do some TL projectors.. Paint the whole inside of the light to match the truck, etc. will be very *** when I'm done I promise.

Who wants some major audio updates!?

The LED strips look a bit ricey to me, and I've seen plenty of Silverados with poorly done 6k retrofits, they throw light everywhere, definitely do the TL retrofit ASAP.

Well done.

For future, or if you want to change the look, you can separate the lenses from the housings and lay the LEDs inside.

This will give it a true euro look similar to Audi.

They go back together super easy, I know you have skills, this is just a small detail that will take you to the next level over others

Great idea!

Yeah its gonna be nice and flush

Thank you for the compliments I really appreciate it

When I do the retrofit and open the housings is when I plan on putting the LEDs inside of the lenses. It should come out really nice I want to color match or do black, not quite for sure on my decision.

Oh how I've been lacking on updates, been building the amp rack today, need to go buy some L brackets, it's coming together though! The way I mounted the SAZ looks pretty cool, subs are in the box and in the truck as well. Picking up batts tomorrow, were almost done guys:)

I'm leaving for school Sunday, I think Friday is e warmest day and best chance to fiberglass so I'm gonna do it all then as far as the ipad dash. Should be painting it and finishing this bish just in time before I leave!

OH and I almost forgot, I'm picking up a NS v1 motor and 15" basket:) for $50!!!!! not sure what all I'm gonna build them (once I pick up another) with but uhh.. They'll be nasty. Carbon fiber dust caps, custom this and that, I may paint the baskets as well.. Not sure yet. But it will be sick as hell I promise.

I know I'm wearing out my welcome with no pics but rest assured I have been taking plenty, just too lazy to upload.

oh it has been so far. cant wait to hear it. Obviously this isnt a SQ build but please feel free to critique away my friend.im all ears, no pun intended..

Continuing on with the HID install, I added a relay harness as well so that both HID's ALWAYS turn on when I start the truck, was having some problems with them not both turning on sometimes, onto the pics,

one installed, looking good

got the door pockets back in and the arm rests installed.

http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii58/hhawksqb1/DSC_0346.jpg

LOL very ghetto and obviously a temporary place for it but i needed somewhere to put it! lol will put it somewhere else when I find the space,may just put it in the center console for when I redo the blowthrough..

Should have it playing this afternoon. Worked on it all night. Got loooots done, gonna finish it today

I see.. Hmm, would drilling holes in the back of the "enclosure" and the door panel help with better low end response? Of should I rebuild and do bigger pods? Or just mount rings on the doors so the kids are IB? What do you think would sounds best? I mean I love bass and all but I want these mids to sound as good as I can make them sound.

keep_hope_alive

01-12-2013, 03:57 PM

you could drill some 4" holes then sandwich fiberglass insulation between to small speaker grills to create an aperiodic membrane.

or just make 5" holes and let them play into the door.

i may do the latter, that sounds the most reasonable for me.. mm, thanks for your response. i appreciate and value your opinion

so Im only running 2 106 ah Dekas, one is also running duties as the front batt.. lowest ive dropped too AT IDLE was 12.7, when im driving its bullet proof im dropping to maybe 14.5 at full tilt and it charges right back to 15.3 within a few moments.

threw some wood in there so the batt would sit level and not move around.

By this summer I want to have the blowthrough in, I want to do a "4th order" itll basically be a ported box with a loading wall, not quite a full 4th order, @Ram_Designs will be doing the design.

Im in the process of selling my mids, i wanna get the newer crescendos..

http://store.crescen...-6-5-mid-range/

also, Im no longer going to be running a head unit when i do the blow through my old center console from the previous blowthorugh is going back in, its gonna get cut up and made the way i like it(:

I will be running a Audison Bit Ten D as my head unit and processor. will be flush mounting the controller in the center console

not sure on subs right now..

I may be working out a deal for some B2 woofers so i might get them if he lets me do a payment plan over the next month because I really want them lol

iPad 2 with wifi+3g, im not using a data plan though, only reason I got the 3g option is because it has a GPS chip in it. wifi model does not, so when it is docked in my truck, once I jailbreak it and get the $150 tomtom app for free, I'll be able to tether the internet from my iPhone 5 to it, thus giving me turn by turn navigation..

mix of both, i really want to clean the truck up, and make it atleast somewhat show worthy, the interior is about to change durastically once I get back to Dallas for Thanksgiving and Christmas break (I'm in college in Oklahoma) I will be redoing the doors, along with doing the sub box, and making an armrest built into it, the box/center console will house the gain control for my sub amp, voltage meter, maybe a SMD meter or two, and this

Lmao pretty much.. But all the gear I'm obtaining now, it's gonna be it for me, the "finale" I've tried everything I wanted to try. I'm gonna do one more build and ill be done for a while, and I mean atleast a few years. I'm gonna be building the truck as well do money will be going to that and not audioz, so I'm making sure ill be fully satisfied with this install

It's gonna be all finished off and look **** too

Alright soooo.... this will be the last audio update in this build log. in 3 weeks when i get home from school i will be stripping all my audio out, cleaning up the truck, and listing it up for sale.. been through alot and learned alot with this truck but there just not enough room for me.. I have to move stuff alot being that I go to college so I will be buying a 1997-2001 Jeep Cherokee.. Don't worry I'm not getting outta teh audio. Still gonna use all the **** I got now. But the Alpine PDX, sundown Neo pros, and 2 of the SA-8s are for sale if anyone's interested.

New system will consist of the following:

Ipad mini, ran to a Rf 360.3
2 sets of Tantric Hd 6.5 Components
2 Sundown Nightshade 18" subs
Power will come from a Sundown SAZ 3500 along with a pair of SAX 125.2s
Mechman 270 amp alternator
All Knu wiring and RCAs
Same Deka 106ah batts, have 2 currently, will be adding another.. Voltage will be rock solid

It's gonna be a clean, clean, clean... Anyways..

So I rdered my first piece of non-recycled equipment for the Jeep.. I will be doing two sets but for right now I'm ordering one, second set will be ordered after I buy the car/truck.

As we all know. Tantrics subs are teh ***, well so are their mids that they have coming out here soon.. Here are some pics

This is what really opened my eyes on these.. TaylorFade ;s testing in these, comparing them to a $1200 comp set just blew my mind, they lack very little compared to the Dynaudios.:suave:

Ill keep you guys posted with the tear down as well as gathering equipment, all I need is one more set of comps and the RF 360.3...

Anyways, figured I'd leave you guys with some vids.. Dash is flexing pretty good. Shiitty part is I filmed these with my iPhone which doesn't pick up bass or flex for **** so that's really saying something when you see the dash move like it does.
